Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc - 1:72 (A02108)
For many people, the Supermarine Spitfire is regarded the most
famous fighting aeroplane ever to take to the skies, even though some may question
how something so beautiful could be conceived as a weapon of war. A much more
complicated aeroplane than the Hawker Hurricane which preceded it into RAF service,
the Spitfire represented the pinnacle of aviation design when the first examples
were delivered to No.19 Squadron at Duxford in the summer of 1938 and as the clouds
of war were already gathering, the RAF were going to need as many of these
magnificent aeroplanes as they could get.
